G. Batavia September 17. 1682. Honoured Sir I wrote you two Letters by the Scipio African and in that of the later Date advised more particularly the Condition we were then in which I shall not repeat but continue the Doleful Subject to the present time The Dutch the Morning before her Departure being opposed Landing rested quiet in their Ships till the 28th of March when before Day with a fresh Supply of Forces they Landed half a Mile distant from our Factory soon Routed all the Javas and received a welcom Admission into the Fort of the Young King then drove to so great a streight by the Siege of his Fathers Army that he could not have held out many days longer and that with the loss of not above forty or fifty Men they immediately hoysed their Standard and what remain'd undestroyed by the Old King's Forces they that day mostly burnt and Marched in Triumph through every part of the Town We kept our Factory Gates shut and were by them unmolested as likewise the French Danes and Chineses But the same Evening about Five of the Clock after we had solaced our selves with hopes of Security a Report was spread abroad that the Young King design'd to cut us all off that very Night being incensed at the conceived Assistance of Men and Ammunition afforded his Father by us during his being besieged and thereupon most of the Chineses who had for the security of their estates brought great part thereof into our Factory like so many Bees flocked about us to take the same out It was Night and we had only on small Ships Boat on shoar so we were necessitated to stand the event and sent her to give notice thereof to our Ships with Orders to loose their Sails get their Anchors apeak and be gone and if we were assaulted to give Tidings what became of us not a man of us departing the Shoar that belonged to the Factory then we put our selves in a posture of defence hoping without the Assistance of the Dutch to make our part good against all the People the Young King had dividing our selves into two Watches my Lot being in the first After Midnight I went to Rest with somewhat better Hopes than those that had the first Sleep as conceiving if they had any real Design upon us we should have heard of it before that time Repose made the remaining hours short and the first Salute to my waking eyes was the Gladsom Day when by a Sign as appointed with our Flag the Ships Boats came on shoar and soon after the Dutch
